Drawings to Mountains
A downloadable project for Windows
Draw a shape to generate mountains!
Drawings to Mountains is a project I have been intermittently working on for a couple months now, inspired by the field of topology.
Drawings to Mountains uses a simple algorithm using the distances between points in a drawing to create various heightmaps. The algorithm was originally designed for closed loops, but my implementation works with any drawing. By drawing, you should be able to create some interesting terrain heightmaps.
Try it out and draw something cool!
How to Use, Features, and Credits:
| How to Use: | - Click and drag to draw on the canvas. |
| - Use WASD, the arrow keys, shift, and the space bar to move around the generated heightmap. | |
| - Use the left and right arrow keys to scroll in the "load saved drawings" menu. | |
| Features: | - Create 2d drawings. |
| - Convert 2d drawings to 3d heightmaps. | |
| - Save the cool ones to look at again. | |
| - Find all of the secret "hi:)" s. | |
| Credits: | - All graphics are built in from the Panda3d python module. |
